5.0 out of 5 stars I'm an A Level politics student and this book is amazing!!!!, 13 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Politics UK, 4th Ed. (Paperback)
I am studying Government and politics A Level and I found this book the most useful text book around. This is mainly because it is the most recent so it has the best content for this subject and it covers all the topic areas really well. It's not cheap but it's worth it if it puts you up a grade or two and this one really could.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not just for the A level Politics student, 15 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Politics UK, 4th Ed. (Paperback)
I am a Law degree student and frequently use this book. It very useful in the study of Public law. The book comes with a companian internet site with resources, links and up dates.
The book also acts as a good introduction to the study of politics. It includes up to date references and examples (well, to 2000).

C. Brown "Moosic mad and Boook crazy" (Somerset, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Politics UK (Paperback)
This book has really helped me during my AS level politics, thought truely i believe it is for older politics students, more helpful and easier to understand if you are doing a degree in the topic. But i have found it very helpful but it is a big book and hard to skim read to get the quick information that you need for essay writing or note taking. You have to know about politics before you read this book.The political images and cartoons are quite funny, it adds a bit nof humour to the long paragraphs of writing. One final thing is that this book is up to date and mentions recent events for great examples.
